Crappy gift of 2020 (probably 1965)
I could see a well-meaning grandparent or elderly aunt giving this to a couple kids thinking it was pretty cool because, “We didn’t have this level of entertainment during the Depression.” Meanwhile, the recipients get about 10 minutes of ‘play … Continue reading
This year’s Christmas tree
Jennifer and her family enjoy Christmas a lot more than I do as you can obviously see. They go through the whole hassle of setting up an actual tree. This is what it looked like before it was decorated. The … Continue reading
“Happy Ending” on white or wheat?
I spotted this in downtown New Orleans during our long weekend there. One of the many combos that just don’t really go together yet, maybe eating a crappy salad on half-cooked bread could require some gross enticing. Using the sandwich … Continue reading
Political cartoonist Tom Toles retires
Yesterday was Tom’s last strip ever. During his long-storied career, he drew/wrote over 15,000 since college. I always thought he worked for the Washington Post the whole time, nope, he joined them 16 years ago to replace another legend, Herblock. Toles’ … Continue reading
First Halloween costume in like…years
Every few years I manage to get a costume past the, I would like to do X stage and actually do it. I didn’t have much choice neither, Jennifer is big on Halloween. For 2020 I went as a lesser-known … Continue reading
Kid who “gets it” not included
You gotta’ do those team costumes while the kids are tiny and don’t care about anything beyond the candy.
Everything is fixed now!
Given Biden’s seven-to-ten point lead, depending upon which poll, voting for him and his GOP Lite agenda will fix everything! I for one did my minimal civic duty by participating in early voting. Oddly, I was only in line for … Continue reading
MAGAt tries to predict the debate and choice
Given that this moron asked a bowling ball tells me they are a resident of Wisconsin, the land where bowling (also called keggling) is a sport, not a hobby. Tonight is the final debate, so we’ve been told. We’ve been promised … Continue reading
Assholism is an international language
Sadly, this is not from the porch of an American apartment building, it’s from the Netherlands courtesy of my friend living there. He didn’t go up to the townhouse to see if it belonged to an ex-pat or a Dutch … Continue reading
Quick, get McBain on the line!
While en route to Richland for a football game, this gravel truck was spotted. Screw Qanon, the real conspiracy is Senator Mendoza running an illegal drug-smuggling operation for years! OK, it’s just goofiness since I’ve been watching The Simpsons on Disney+ … Continue reading
Spotted in Houston
This billboard was oddly rented in a predominantly Hispanic part of Houston, not exactly Orange Foolius country. Many accolades to the brave people who succeeded in not getting caught nor arrested in this act of resistance to fascism/monarchy. It counters … Continue reading
Just in time for season two
Well, this was something I didn’t notice in the two teaser trailers for The Mandalorian. I would’ve bought it if the little green “yodas” were petrified marshmallows. Not to humble-brag but even as a kid, I never liked those so-called marshmallows … Continue reading
Delos upgrades Pence’s firmware
I had to get on the bandwagon mocking Pence being oblivious to a fly landing on his head and staying there for two minutes. Westworld jokes must be passé too since I’m the only one I know to bother making the … Continue reading
Trump discovers The Cure!
Anything is possible but he’d still be an asshole like the Republican Vampire character Andy French had to deal with on Mission Hill.
Music Monday brought to you by…
This is a hard to find CD because anyone under 40 only streams and treats music as a disposable commodity. I’m definitely out of touch with what younger people like anyway, the only song I recognized was a cover of … Continue reading
